SA vs BAN Preview

Whipping a massive win over the defending champions at this particular venue, South Africa looks like a very favourite contender over Bangladesh. But we must not underestimate an Asian team like Bangladesh on a subcontinental surface.

South Africa’s brilliant net run rate and holding 3rd position on the points table will make them focus on another win to push along their semi final journey one step ahead.

On the other hand, Bangladesh would want to win this match at any cost.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

Wankhede Stadium’s surface generally offers a batting friendly wicket. With a minimum of 64 meters in length, the boundaries are relatively short. The Pacers get more help than the spinners. However, it is difficult for the pacers in the 1st innings under Mumbai’s extreme heat. Teams who win the toss would prefer to bat first here.

Last result at the venue

SA – 399/7 (Pacers – 5w, Spinners – 2w)

ENG – 170 (22/50 overs) (Pacers – 8w, Spinners – 1w)

South Africa won by 229 runs

South Africa Team News

Temba Bavuma was ruled out for the last match. He is available against Bangladesh. He might replace Reeza Hendricks.
However, seeing Reeza’s performance in the last game, they might even go with the same XI from the last match.
The batting order should remain the same.

Bangladesh Team News

Bangladesh badly needs Shakib back in their bad times. BCB director, Khaled Mahmud Sujon hinted a few days ago, that they didn’t want to take a risk with Shakib in the India match. But it is expected that he will come back against South Africa.
Taskin Ahmed was replaced by Hasan Mahmud in the last match. But Mahmud had conceded 65 runs in just 8 overs. Bangladesh might bring back Taskin in the playing XI.
Bangladesh’s batting order has no constant. They always try to maintain a left-right combination. That means, if Litton gets out 1st, Miraz will come at 3. And if Tanzid gets out 1st, Shanto will come at 3 and so on for both Shakib and Mushfiq as well.

Who will win today match between South Africa and Bangladesh (Match 23 of ICC Men’s World Cup 2023)?

With an even 2-2 Men’s World Cup record, both teams are evenly matched.
In the last 5 ODI matches, Bangladesh has a lead of 3-2 over South Africa.

Only the spin department of Bangladesh can handle South Africa’s Batting Lineup. However, South Africa’s dominance in this World Cup and the relatively contrasting performance by the Tigers clearly indicate that the Proteans are the favourite here.
